    Gears of War Update: April 9th

    Looks like the next update will be here on Monday. The new game mode will feature respawns.

    Can't say that I'm VERY excited about the respawn aspect of it, but you need them in a zone type game mode. I'm just glad we have something different coming.

    Still love the game, but I have been on a huge break from it. Looking forward to getting back on it.

      This sounds a lot like Domination from the original UT. Hopefully this is just the start and more objective-based gametypes are in the pipe.

      I see Assassination is getting a couple updates.
      • Before the update, the Assassination leader had to unlock map-spawned weapons by picking them up and dropping them. Now, all weapons are available to all players from the beginning.
      • Before the update, you could kill a leader in Assassination using the same rules as in Warzone. Now, you kill leaders as in Execution.

        It seems like from what I've read they changed assasination from "warzone" to "execution" if you will. I think you have to execute ALL of the team members as well, not just the leader so that news blurb is a bit misleading.


        EDIT: It looks like I was acutally reading the part about execution and thought it pertained to assasination. My bad. I'm looking forward to playing assasination for more than just the achievement now.

          The link doesn't appear to be working for me,
          but anyway I definitely think Gears needs some respawn, objective based (capture the flag, etc) type of game modes.

          I bought the game on day one and initially loved it, but after a month the multiplayer modes got really stale to me and I found myself much more engaged by the "war" mode of call to duty 3, or now more recently the capture and hold mode on GRAW 2

          I may pick up Gears again if the reviews of these new modes are good

            Here's one from IGN.

            Gears of War Annex Detailed
            "Official" word on the new multiplayer mode.


            Winning scores can be adjusted by the players with a minimum of 120 and a maximum of 480. First one to reach the score wins, regardless of the number of kills either team accumulates. Respawns are set to infinite, but they come in waves every 15 seconds rather than being based on when a particular player dies.

            The amount of player customization goes further than the winning score. Adjustable options include:

            -Selected Map: Which map or series of maps to use.
            -Number of Rounds: Number of rounds required to win the match.
            -Bleed-out Duration: Amount of time before a player dies while DBNO.
            -Round Score: Number of points required to win a round.
            -Friendly Fire: In a player match, whether teammates can damage each other.
            -Private Slots: In a player match, number of player slots reserved for friend invites.
            -Weapons Swapped: In a player match, whether the person who sets up the match can determine whether weapons that appear in the maps are replaced or removed.

            All of this alongside patches and bug fixes is hopefully just a few days away if the unconfirmed release date of April 9 holds. We'll be back then with impressions and more on this highly desired addition.

              Not coming April 9th.

              UPDATE: Microsoft told us that the below info about Annex was true, but that the April 9 date was wrong. We've changed the headline and original story to reflect the correction.

                This weeks 1up podcast has an interview with Tim Sweeney and Mark Rein of Epic games. Sweeney mentions that 4 new maps are done and have been done for a long time.

                Ugh...

                  You think that means that MS is trying to get them to charge people for them?

                    Like with Halo 2, the new Gears maps will be pay at first, then will become free a few months later.

                      Well I will have fun playing the old maps until the new ones are free. I refuse to pay for DLC especially when I know I can get it free soon. I already paid for the game, and a new multiplayer map is not worth money. Additional levels, new weapons, characters all together, now that would warrant my money. This does not.

                      On another note, I'm glad to see they finally included private slot reservation for friend invites. I always hated how you couldn't play ranked matches with friends unless you picked the same server. I really like in Halo 2 how you can party up. That feature should be included in every multiplayer shooter.
